Experience of Mundorf S/O or S/G/O in Merlins VSM

You could get the Lead-Free upgrade and Master RC Networks(Dueland caps), which have already being proven and go from there without any guess-work on your part.

clabe, oh yes i remeber you now.
happy new year!
what is it about the upper mids and lower treble that is bothering you?
and did you have this issue before you changed all the caps?
i want to hear what you say before i say anything more.
but i know this cap and its sound.
best regards,

Hi Bobby!
Did you get my e-mail regarding whether my VSM MX had X-over cryoed or not. Important if I have to upgrade with Mundorf S/O throuhgout whole X-over or not.There´s a considerate difference in price.
Like listening to clarinett a lot, especially to Mr Putte Wickman, world wide known. Unfortunately died last year in respectable age of, think it was, 82.
Sometimes I can find its sound a bit sharp, it doesn´t mean it have to be speakers. Upper treble I find a bit short, could be my phonostage or other equipment.
BUT, I´m willing to give it a try with other capacitors.
I noticed improvement with S/O in BAM + RC network.
Please I´d appreciate if you could tell cryoed or not.

Many Thanks!

clabe, the vsm mxs have cryoed networks so the discontinuity will be there if you use a cryoed and non cryoed cap in the same speaker.
did this bright sound happen before you changed the caps?
do you find the upper mids a little pinched? pushed or recessed?
thank you.

Hi Bobby!
Thanks, I haven´t made any changes at all yet.
But yesterday I resoldered X-over with Mundorf Silver/Gold
solder. Made a difference in terms of clearer sound throughout spektra. Treble also sounded extended and lower midrange nicer in terms of more distinct sound. This was what I wanted, I will not change caps so far it sounds really god. Maybe sound even improves as solderjoint gets burnt in.
I didn´t expect this difference by only changing solder.
Sorry for my preconcieved meanings and ignorance.

Many thanks again and the best.
